How can you NOT be tempted?
A little late in running, due to me experimenting with things to try and make the sound less crumpled and obese sounding. It kind of worked, but I’ll let you see if it worked.
Most of the podcast seemed to be about being fabulous. In which case, the most fabulous anime this season are Milky Holmes, Togainu no Chi and Star Driver. A couple of announcement reactions as well, since Strike Witches and K-ON! are both getting movies, along with Maria+Holic getting a second season. More wonderful SHAFT productions for us to enjoy in the future, but we also can’t forget that Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru and Arakawa Under the Bridge S2 are already airing.
This seventh professional podcast is brought to you by amateurs, with exquisite amounts of unprofessionalness. We also can’t seem to refrain from saying things that make us sound stupid. We require failtrain my fellow crew. For new listeners to the podcast, we do our best to make it seem like we were recorded while we were naturally talking about anime all day like it’s the only thing we do. Maybe we’ll have a new listener or two thanks to Animeblogger.net, as it’s our first time being on an aggregator. Please rage carefully amongst the population.
Wait. Patchy’s tower of books isn’t supported at the bottom..

This podcast was actually recorded at the same time as RAGEcast 4, so you’ll notice us talking about stuff that’s either old, or already happened.. meaning it’s old. Besides stating the obvious and doing so repeatedly, this is the fifth podcast!
This time we’re switching between various anime like Highschool of the Dead, random K-ON mentions, and remembering whatever we can about last season. The amount of failtrain still hasn’t gone down ever since we’ve started podcasting, so I guess there’s a little bit of entertainment in listening to us sound like idiots while we make mistakes. We changed the format a little bit: I introduce the entire list of probable topics right at the beginning of each podcast, so that within 2 minutes of listening, you’ll know if it’s worth listening to! Nice of us, ain’t it? As much as I’d love for everyone to listen to the whole thing, it’s no good if none of it concerns you.
Oh, I see what you did there. Ha.

I also can’t believe this is Taketatsu Ayana’s second role I’ve seen this season. Taketatsu is our loveable Azunyan from K-ON!. The other series she’s currently in is MM has Mio Isurugi. Even more still, my lovely Ritsu has shown up once again as Kyousuke’s female friend Manami. Very tempted to make a little graph of the seiyuu in Oreimo to show their past roles. It’s also very odd how close Taketatsu’s enunciation of some vowels sounding unusually close to the way Hirano Aya (Suzumiya Haruhi) does.
There’s plenty of stuff to talk about for future podcasts, since this season also seems to be garnering very strong reactions — which seem to already be polarized to the extremes. Is there really no room for middle ground?

Goddamit Azu-nyan.
Kyoto Animation, at least warn us when you’re trying to kill us.
